In her own words

I live in Bogotá, Colombia but am originally from the UK and yes, have that accent. I love dancing (salsa, merengue, bachata etc.), and spending time with my daughter and my friends - very normal things. I have been out of action for a while through choice, not cynicism, and am upbeat, optimistic and definitely a glass is half full person so open to opportunities and new friends! I have a very blended family, spread over the UK, Colombia, Cuba and US so would like to meet people that either speak or are willing to learn Spanish, and actively want to explore this part of the world. I am not necessarily looking for someone with extensive formal education - I respect it enormously, but meeting people with a non-academic, different (and funny!) angle on the mundane and pretentious would be very welcome as well...

Favorite hot spots

I teach rueda de casino (don´t panic - I do have a day job as well!) so spend a lot of time in salsa schools/clubs but also like slightly more dignified clubs/restaurants - I have come to the startling and grateful conclusion that I am no longer 22:)

Favorite things

Too many to mention.

For fun

I read to my daughter, dance, go to pubs, take cooking classes, do yoga, taste wine, travel, and learn languages. In a nutshell.

Last read

Last read was ´Gone Girl´- loved it! Don´t judge too harshly - I have studied the literary canon and know there is a time and a place for fluffy ´page-turners :)
